Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson’s latest film, Verity, has retained its number 1 position at the domestic box office in its opening week. Meanwhile, on its first Tuesday, the film saw a sharp rise in collections in comparison to its first Monday. As a result, the film is on track to recoup its production costs from the domestic box office alone. Moreover, despite clashing with Tom Cruise’s Digger, Anne Hathaway’s starrer is a force at the box office.
How Much Did Verity Earn At The North American Box Office In 5 Days?
It is the 4th Colleen Hoover adaptation, and it features a stunning cast, including Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson. The film had much pre-release buzz, which helped it register a strong debut. On its first discounted Tuesday, the R-rated erotic thriller earned a strong $3.6 million. This was a 48% growth from its Monday collection of $2.4 million.
Verity has grossed a total of 38 million at the domestic box office in just 5 days. The film’s Tuesday collection is higher than that of Wuthering Heights (3.5 million), The Lost City (3.3 million), and Sandra Bullock’s recent release, Practical Magic 2 (2.9 million).
